About the volunteering opportunity

A new chatting bench project is starting soon in Friedrichsfelde - and we're looking for nice people from the neighborhood who would like to take part.

Your Tasks

You regularly "play" on a bench near you, for example every Wednesday from 10-12 in the park. You can do this in a relaxed way while knitting, reading, drawing or drinking coffee.
-You get into conversation with people who want to talk or who sometimes feel lonely.
-At the same time, you can point out existing offers in the neighborhood (e.g. meeting places, advice centers, events).

What's needed

For this volunteering opportunity, intermediate German skills are required.
- You should be of legal age
- You should not be afraid to sit alone on a bench for 2 hours
- You should be patient. The project has not yet started, which means that we will be experimenting at the beginning, including using the trial & error method. It may take some time until everything runs smoothly. You should be aware of that ;)

Time required

Regularly
Approx. 2 hours per week.

Important notice

We will apply for an extended certificate of good conduct for you free of charge
